    Barebones production, bland vocals with melodies that build up to nowhere made this one of the most boring listens this year. Lyrically, there are some strong parts, but in general is a huge downgrade from Folklore, with corny cringey lyrics that remind you of 40-year-old white mom's instagram captions.

    Boring album, all the songs sound the same, and they sound as her past work as well. Ewwww.

    Honestly, every time the so-called 'music industry' announces a new album I believe in my head many expectations but it never manages to exceed them:( midnights is an album with ‘1989’ sounds and lyrics of network or ‘folklore’ which makes you think that you have already heard it before and it gets bored, in addition to the fact that it reminds you a lot of 'MELODRAMA‘ the masterpiece thatHonestly, every time the so-called 'music industry' announces a new album I believe in my head many expectations but it never manages to exceed them:( midnights is an album with ‘1989’ sounds and lyrics of network or ‘folklore’ which makes you think that you have already heard it before and it gets bored, in addition to the fact that it reminds you a lot of 'MELODRAMA‘ the masterpiece that Lorde and Jack Antonoff made in 2017, Midnights is an album without a particular style. Taylor wanted to make an album combining the styles of 1989, folklore and melodrama to get an acclaimed album but he didn’t succeed… Expand

    I've been a fan of Taylor since 2010 and this album is pure crap. Enough with the victimization, the pettiness and the self-centeredness. She has 32, it's time to grow up. And for god's sake, enough with Jack Antonoff. I hope he will back the hell off once and for all after this.

    Very disappointing album, and I’m a lifetime Swiftie. I counted down the days to this album and I am so sad that it’s so bad. I get that people are so positive because she has a “different, evolved” or “more mature” sound but that doesn’t mean the music is good. They’re happy that it doesn’t sound like Taylor swift? That’s weird.

    There’s not one song in the entire 20 songs that I would drive and sing to in my car. And that’s the beauty about all of Taylor’s past music, it’s all so good and I can hear them over and over and never tire of them. These songs feel like songs she just co-wrote with her friend on a few casual nights of hanging and drinking but they would not usually make an album….which is exactly what happened. So disappointed!    … Expand

Don't wanna hurt swifties' feelings, but can't lie that I enjoyed any other songs other than Anti hero. The album has some awfully cringy lyrics, silly vocal effects and weak production. It didn't come together as well as I thought it would.… Expand

    Same old Taylor swift, nothing new. Her lack of growth is very apparent on this album and when she tried to do something “different” on a song like vigilante **** she completely fell flat on her face. I’m just wondering how she could have such weak songwriting on her 10th album. Let’s hope for some more inspiring work from ms swift in this future.

    If her Lover album is 4/10, this is 1/10. Midnights has no real music, no production , no melody and no good lyrics. It has nothing good. Same old stories since her beginning, kitchen , pocket etc etc.Same old melody since Lover. Nearly all songs are the same and you can't remember which is which.The only song memorable and notbad song is Would've Should've Could've thing. ıf this albumIf her Lover album is 4/10, this is 1/10.

Taylor you should quit or get rid of Jack and Aaron. Both are talentless. This album is the most overrated thing I have ever listened in my life. Waste of money, sad for her fans that bought lots of copies of this CD. Fans, please don't exaggerate it anymore.

    Disgusting. Worst album of 2022. Only Snow on the beach was good, because Lana Del Rey did some charity work. And helped her write a good song for once.

    HORRIBLE SOBREVALORADO

    Me aparece todo el tiempo hasta en la sopa, hasta que me decidí a escucharlo (ya que no está sonando ni en la radio, lo cual me sorprende, ya que ha estado todo el álbum acaparando el top 10 de las listas) y pues nada, nuevo, es la misma Taylor que el último material. Nada arriesgado, pero sí muy sobrevalorado. En pocas palabras: un producto más que demuestra que el    HORRIBLE SOBREVALORADO

    With a lot of autotune, her entire album sounds the same and boring. Since she can never keep a man for more than two business days, every song she sings is a breakup song.

    There are few catchy tunes but does not really add value to the TS discography. So sad this is the most popular album. Evermore was better in every way. Even Lover (album) was better. Cruel Summer and Lover (song) blows all the songs from Midnights out of the water. A truly disappointing album.

    Greatly disappointing. You'll only love this album if you are a Taylor swift stan, what gets 100 from critics isn't the music in this album but the person who made the music and the online craze surrounding her. If this album was released by another artists, both scores would've been different. The music is mid, you're too busy finding connecting between the songs and Swifts life to see it.

    It allows Swift to do what she has always wanted: make an album for its own sake that is received primarily as a work of art instead of a commercial entity or tabloid fodder.

    While her 10th album doesn’t make instant classic status like 1989, and Evermore and Folklore remain her masterpieces, it is still an understated, beguiling look into the mind of one of the biggest pop stars of our age.
